The railroads with one exception are
doing their utmobt to keep the Indus

The situation has been for the Indus

chowe between degradation to the rank
of paupers, or starvation where they
. n-v.Ainine' themselves to a ride
over the mountains and deserts which
could not be walked, the railroads nav
Ing refused to allow them to ride even
in empty box cars for pay. Col. Sand
ers and his band took an engine and
wnAmntv coal cars at Pueblo, Col.,
without violence, and started east. The
..iimiul comnanv ditched cars ana en
gines on the track ahead in three differ
ent places to stop them, but each time
the Industrials laid a track: arouna mo
obstructions and steamed on. Tbey
were finally captured by a U. 8. marsnai
and Dosse. who met them on a train,
and they were transported at govern
ment expense across Kansas to i-eaven.

Meanwhile the fees for arresting them

by the officials in Oregon last week.
Kelly with 1,350 men is floating down

that several thousand recruits will join
him there. Gen. Randall, leader of the

OLD M&GHIIES 0B8TRTJ0T vBO-GRES8-
.
In commentlnr on the suggestion of
the Dvid City Press, that Democrats of
this district should support the Populist
candidate for congress in order todefeat
a Republican gold-bug protectionist,
The Wealth Makers says in part:
Party ties ouaht to rest so lightly on men
that tbre would be no posMbliliy of fastening
voters t a mure omce seeking machine. ..
We would respectfully re-submit this
for the prayerful consideration of the
editor of The Wealth Makers
Creto Democrat.
The idea expressed in the above sen
tence, re-submitted to us for considera
tion by Brother Bowlby, Is an idea
which we have held for a long time, and
It is what led us to cut loose from the
Republican party ten years ago. Since
then wo have been politically, intelli
gently free, and shall never again be
long to any party or party leadors.
Whenever it is plain to our mind that
we cannot get progressive legislation
through the Papultst party we shall
leave it and help organize and build up
a progressive party.
Old parties are never progressive. It
is the law of old party existence, or suc
cess, that they cannot be. They always
obstruct progress.
Parties are first created, men are
drawn together to form them, by a moral
principle, by a recognized need of new
laws for the protection of individual
rights and liberties. Office seekers
would never create parties; they always
stav In one or the other of the old part
ies until the new party draws numbers
which seem hopefully near a majority,
and coming then into a party created by
principle and demanding certain definite
progressive legislation, they find it is
their Interest to fall In with the party
demands; and so new party organiza
tions, crystallized around and controlled
bv ereat principles, in spite of selfish
men which come to them, will accom
plish the work they were created to do.
But as soon as that work Is done they
have no farther excuse for existence;
their existence, prolonged by office
seekers, Is the greatest possible national
curse.
The party which lives after the work
which called it into existence is accom
plished, lives for the offices, Uvea by the
offices, lives through the power of de
ception, lives to serve the professional
politicians and business men who run It,
lives not to protect but to prey on the
wealth producers .and to destroy the
foundations of liberty by means of class
legislation. These we declare to be in
variably the objects of those who control
old parties, Old party platforms are
constructed to hold in the party all who
have been voting with it. No real re
form, no great unsettled question which
would divide its members, lose It votes
and destroy the chances ot immediate
sucocss, is ever championed by an old
party. Increasing corruption is tbe law
of old party existence.
The Democratic, or Republican party
as It was first called, came into existence
to defend the eaual political rights of
the people, to oppose the monarchial
and aristocratic Ideas of the federalist?,
who feared "the masses." It did a good
work; It accompllsed its purpose. But
it lived too long. Its northern leaders
for party success allied themselves with
the slave holding power; and the party,
then more than a score of years morally
dead, ought to have been burled forever
by the war that It made necessary.
The Republican party csme into ex-
tat nee to limit slave territory and pre
serve tbe Union. It accomplished its
treat work, and a creator which the
exigencies of war forced upon It. It
brought chattel slavery to a perpetual
and. and crave the ballot to the black
nan. But it allowed the Sajl-ca- cias
to dictate financial leglilatloi for the
country almost from the date ot its
accession to power, that mere is
much mora reason for calling It the
tlave maklsir party than the party or
e mane I ('.lion. There ara three or four
times as many properlyless people ia
America who have lot their .reeaout,
tholr manhood, their Independence
tioc the war, a went liberated from
chattel servitude by the war. And the
million of wife slave who with hun
ger eravlag seek and seek la va'n to
Sad a master, are far worse- off thsa
the bSaek chattel, whom it waa alway
the waster' lakrert to keep sufficiently
fed and comfortably clothed and saol
trd and ia health.
And th Democratic party, hsld to
gether till now by the old ra quoatloit
south and by ottU-e or the hop of otttoe
and entlf i partisanship la th aorta,
cat ma W ltlf as a national party no
Us than it rival th tool of Wall
Html, Thar) ha be a no progress
whatever toward the Ulcmut of even
the Uriff iutloa. It wt noopt pro
gre bokrd, the McKlal tariff
being tiher, notwithstanding iHmo
tsralio oppoettloa, lhaa aay pravlou
Ujpubllsaa tariff; and tbe Wiisoa bill
with It 400 catt amendment, ot
ratio eftl. U eofo4iy a high
the Democratic party ever before en
acted or proposed.
Therefore, in view of all we have
shown above, to our mind there is no good
reason for staying in either of the old
parties; and it would be worse than folly
to return to either of them. Progress
by either is impossible. We need to
vote not simply for honest men, but for
men who stand on an honest platform
in a progressive party. Fusing with
an old party is death to a young party.
. One man in Merrick county last week
sent in his views of candidates and pro
posed a state ticket made up of Popu
late and Democrats, naming the men.
To him and to any others who may
wish to fuse with te old parties we
must say and say emphatically that our
columns are not open for anyone to ad
vocate what we ae absolutely certain
would destroy us as a party. We do
not question tbe sincerity of our corres
pondent But what are we out of the
old parties for, and why did we organize
a new party if either of the old parties
would tcrve us? Another thing. Let
one man seriously propose fusion In our
columns, and we should be Hooded with
communications against fusion. It
would be, we think, the worst possible
waste of space to do It. The party that
will trade and fuse with another party
has no principles. And as our party is
a party of principle, fusion cannot be
considered a party question with us.
EARLY 8TATE CONVENTIONS.
The People's party state conventions
dates already published are as follows:
California May 22, Indiana May 24, Illi
nois May 20, Ohio June 0, Minnesota
June 10, Kansas June 12, New Hamp
shire June 14, Texas June 20.
It is our opinion that we shall make
a mistake if we put off our state con
vention later than July 4th, and we
urge the executive committee to care
fully consider the advantage of decid
ing on that date, ' We need to begin
early in order to become perfectly or'
ganlzed and to provide for a thorough
canvass of the state. The people ate
now wonderfully stirred up and ready
to listen to the discussion of remedies
for tbe hard times, low prices and in
creasing burdens of the working and
debtor classes. Strike while the iron
is hot. Place before the people definite,
adequate, plain remedies and show
them the causes of the present condl-
tlons and they will flock to our stand
ard.
Tbe old parties hold their conven
tions late in order to more easily de
ceive the people. We should hold ours
ear) y to better educate the people. We
should also nominate our men first, and
they should be our men, to avoid any
appearance of fusion or trading. If we
delay our convention beyond the first
week lo July it will have to be put off
till tbe last of August, on account of
harvesting and stacking, our people be
ing In great majority farmers. That is
too late.
THE KINGDOM, HUMAN, DIVINE
We commented on a paragraph last
week which we found in The Kingdom,
a sentence indicating that one of its
eiltors accepts and teaches the gold
money superstition, an error which,
accepted as truth, is the present econo
mic and legal defense of usury, or inter
est, the Immorality which has become
respectable since the church teachers
and preachers, ceased to proclaim the
law, allowed all In the church to take
usury, and so made it respectable. It
Is of course optional with the Individu
als who possess the gold,' the present
so-called "honest" (!) money or redeem
er cf sinful money ('.) whether they shall
charge (Bible) usury for It or not. But
it is not optional wltn the man who
must borrow money whether or not he
shall pay usury. And the man who
supports the gold monopolists, like the
priest and Invite gees by on the other
s'de and leaves his neighbor to bo rob
bed and wounded by them.
It was a great disappointment to us
to find such ocla), fundamental la
justice supported by the new paper, or
piper with new name and widened jur-
pose. Hut we wish to lay to our read
er that it Is, nevertheless, the beet
religious paper they can find anywhere,
and we advise every family taking our
psper to ubscrlbo for The Kingdom al
to It they are financially able to do ao.
It li only one man's writing which w
consider unchristian and harmful, one
man out ot the twelve. The board of
editor of The Kingdom consists of
'resident Geo. A. isle of lowaCollege,

Liberty;" Prof. John R. Commons of
Indiana State University, one of tbe
ablest of the young political economists,
a strong advocate of Proportional Rep
resentation and the author1' of The Dis
tribution of Wealth." Revs. H. W. Glea
on of Minneapolis and Rev. J. N.
Brown of Kansas City are the remain
ing members of the board of editors.
This paper, Ths Kingdom, is tbe only
paper of its kind among the many
religious papers. It is not Infallible;
but in its ethical teachings, in its dls
cusilon of .applied Christianity, it is a
vast distance in advance of the religious
press and preaching of the rest of the
world. We say this after reading four
copies of tbe paper. And we urge all
our people who wish to take a religious
paper that preaches and teaches savin jr
trutb, truth for this life, truth that is
needed to save society by dethroning
business sel flannels, to send to the pub
lishers of The Kingdom, Minneapolis
Mion , for sample copies of the paper.
The price is $1.60 a year. We shall
propose a clubbing arrangement and
shall probably be able to offer It with
l he wealth Makehs at a reduced
rate.
We are glad to tee that The Repre
sentative, organ'of tho Farmers Alliance
and Peoples' party of Minnesota and
edited in large part by Ignatius Donnel
ly, is greatly extending its light and in
fluence. Any paper edited by the great
litterateur must build up a large sub
scription list. Last week a special
edition of 100,000 copies were printed
from new type and sent out from its
new office at Minneapolis. The office
of the paper has just been moved from
St. i'aul to the greater bnslness center.
Attorney-General Olney would
bave the government loan a bankrupt,
stock-watered railroad more money
than it is worth at two per cent, per
annum for 100 years. But when the
People's party suggest that the govern
ment loan its citizens upon good security
money at the same rate it is denounced
as paternalism.
The ad vantage of a government postal
system and business is tbe advantage
of getting the best possible service at
cost. A government banking system
and railroad system would save enorm
ous profits to the people and preserve
our fast disappearing liberties.
A MAN Is in duty bound to 'obey just
laws. But which is the more sacred,
property or life? Is it better fer the
men who can find no work to preserve
life by begging or stealing? Which is
(he more degrading?

tbe government grants subsidies and

to carry on business, or when we "pro

Many well meaning people object to
the seclalistlo principles of the Podu-
Hsts on tbe ground that ''If ycu could
divide all the wealth equally among our
citizens in a year some would be 'beg
gars while others would bo million
aires." All this Js true. But Socialists
do not propose to divide the wealth of
the nation . They propone to consolUa ie
It under one ownership, and the owner
Is the national government, which will
hold it in trust for the people forever.
It will therefere be Impossible for men
to squander their capital and beoome
ouraen upon tho community, as tbey
frequently do now, for all that anv one
can spend will 3 his proportion of the
income, or product, of the capital of the
nation. Socialism means ''government
ownership of all capital and govern-
ment operation of all industries."
Some people thing that if the masses
were educated there would be nn annh
thing as want, and they refer to tbo un
educated horde which constitutes the
various industrial armies. Here again
taey display their Ignorance. The ma
jority of the roving industrials are
bjtfhly educated, and much better edu
cated than our lawyers and politician V
and bankers. Better educated because)
usefully educated. Some of these trampy
are educated to shoe horses-others
are tauors some are enuinnn t,a

mechanics. Some can make shoes and
build houses. The time is surulv
log when all will hold In contempt f"8-

but does not qualify him to add any

or who organixs syndicates and live Id

The pirates of old worked hard and
took great risk in order to acquire
wealth, but that fact did not justify
them In the eyes of the people. The
bank burglar works hard and takes
great risks, but that does not entitle
him to the wealth he acquires. It is
